This band which nowadays is well-known by everybody was founded in 1983 in Teplice. Its charter members were Mr. Milan ŠPALEK, bass guitar, and Mr. Tomáš KRULICH, guitar. The group was later joined by Mr. Radek HURČIK, percussions, and Mr. Josef VOJTEK, frontman of the band and singer. The last to join the band was Mr. Ota VÁŇA, guitar.

The band has existed in this line-up since 1990 up to nowadays. The breakthrough in the career of this successful, but only regional band was the release of their debut album Má Ji Motorovou (”She Has It Motor Like”) in 1991. Thanks to the enthusiastic response of the public, the band signed an exculsive contract with the publishing house Monitor/Emi. It was followed by other successful albums one after another. The following albums can be mentionned at random: Colorado in 1994, Čert Na Koze Jel (”The Devil Was Driving a Goat”) in 1998, Mega Hu in 1999. The select album Suma Sumárum (”All Things Considered”) released in 2002 was sold in an unbelievable for that time number - 128 000 media -, and became thus the best sold musical item in the Czech Republic. In the same year, the success of the band was crowned by their also successful concert tour, as well as by their historically first victory won in the opinion poll “Český Slavík” (”The Czech Nightingale”). Three years later, the KABÁT band (”The Coat”) comes now with their new project Corrida to the market, the album being impatiently waited for by the public. Their single entitled Malá Dáma (”Little Lady”) was selected as their competition song for the participation in the national Eurosong finals.
